Unlike stocks or other investment vehicles, savings bonds do not receive a step-up in basis upon the death of the owner.

This means that the inheritor of the savings bonds is responsible for paying tax on the full amount of interest accrued on the bonds.

There is no adjustment in the basis of the bonds at the time of inheritance, which can lead to a larger tax burden for the inheritor.
